Fan Kisses Soccer God Messi After Rushing Field

Lionel Messi is the world's greatest soccer player and one popular dude with fans. In December, a guy stormed the field during a match between FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to give Messi a sweaty hug before being led away by police.

But a fan on Wednesday decided to take things a step further. During Argentina's friendly against Sweden, a fan wearing Messi's number-10 Barca jersey snuck onto the field to give Leo a quick smooch and head rub before security took him away. There's video of the moment above, so check it out to see Messi's cool reaction.

Last month, Messi won his fourth-straight Ballon d'Or trophy, given to the world's top player each year. He's the world's best human at the world's most popular sport, and in 2012 broke a 40-year-old soccer record by scoring 91 goals during the calendar year. You can check out a pretty epic super cut of his amazing year here.
